I guess that's fine...from what I played of the blazblue games, they did at least have some in depth story stuff going on there. I just wish Japanese developers would consider expanding what they can do with story in fighting games.

I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but I loved what Netherealm did with the story mode in Mortal Kombat. That had to the best story mode I've ever played in a fighting game. Thing took me at least 10 hours to finish, and gave me a good idea of how each character plays.

GGPO is good but not great. It's a call-check system. BB/Arc's netcode is a sync before the match. There's no "roll-back." GGPO in Third Strike is prone to rolling back the state when lagging. Which is why Jeff Gerstman/others complained about seeing wins on their screen but actually losing rounds because the state/GGPO rolled back due to lag.

Blazblue doesn't do that. It sync's the players and if someone lags both sides lag.

I'm partial to DOA's method of slowing the game down/frame-rate dives as well if players are lagging. Gives boths sides an even advantage, IMO

BB does have custom lobbies in the fact you can set settings (winner stays, loser stays, host choice [IIRC] Unlimited on/off) but it wasn't totally custom in a sense. You can't block certain characters from being used (IIRC) just an unlimited on/off toggle.

Best thing BB has is the game finder. No match making unless you choose quick match. Which is nice.

GGPO is the best only because of the rollbacks which allows you to play at nearly frame perfect pace despite fluctuating(and usually slow) internet speeds. That really helps folks training for higher level competition in my opinion. The other plus is the fact that you can set your own delay in order to minimize that lag you find in Mahvel, SFIV and KOF. The tech ASW uses works more than well enough for casual and mid level fighting. It's seriously good stuff compared to just about all other non GGPO fighters(here is looking at you, KOF and Mahvel).

Blame that on the specific implementation of GGPO on third strike. I've never ever experienced such powerful rollback and I've played hundreds(maybe thousands) of matches with people from my continent and abroad.

Wow those comments are a cesspool. I was planning on getting it for 360, I can't possibly believe they'd let it ship like that over here. I'm sure more impressions will come out in the following weeks, or a patch'll come out or something.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!

I got the game went through 4 stories so far and I wouldnt say its 30-40 hours long. Plus to get to the other scenes in the dialog its just a matter of loading up a "bookmark / save" from one of the 6 slots and see what happens.

If anything just for the story mode alone seeing how you are a Persona fan am sure you will not regret the purchase, so rest assured!

The fighting mechanics itself are not that hard, but mastering them is another issue... Im from the more old school street fighter / KOF mostly (98) era so all of these new fangled crazy counters, bust action etc am not used to at all.

I have one of these on the way, but am considering not opening it and selling it to anyone interested. Reason being is I had found this shortly after and put in an order for it instead. Dont really need 2 joysticks at the house. Considering its bad enough got the "TANK" 360 Real Arcade Pro Ex sitting around. Both should arrive tomorrow. If no takers on the purchase can always just return it unopened to amazon.

PS3 version.

This is the other order which I will be using instead as the main stick. The Hori Real Arcade Pro V3 (PS3)
